Description
"Maiengrüsse aus Indien im HI. Jahr 1933. Im Waisenhausgarten der Mission Kalavoor (Südindien)." Missionaries and children are standing in the orphanage garden of the mission Kalavoor. Many of the children have jugs which they either have filled or are filling with water form the central well. The postcard has been colorized and there is an image of a painting of Madonna and Child above the garden scene. A typed note on the back asks for financial assistance for missions.
